How to sign up for free Qantas Frequent Flyer membership – a list of free sign-up links

Most Point Hacks readers are inevitably going to already be Qantas Frequent Flyer members, but in case you’re not, this list covers off one of Qantas’ more bizarre policies – their attempt to charge a one-off fee $89.50 for new members of Qantas Frequent Flyer to members with Australian addresses.

Overseas residents can get it free. It’s quite odd that they would actually want to charge for this, but it’s simple to get around, and even if you’re a member already these are useful for signing up friends and family when needed.

Qantas run promotions for free memberships with their frequent flyer program partners, such as banks. It’s possible to find a range of promotional application codes, as these links follow a common format. Here’s the full list I’ve found that currently work.

You’ll need a non Australian address. Any address would do, they just send you a membership card which you won’t need if you don’t every credit any points to BA.

Even if you do, unless you get status with BA, you won’t need anything in the mail from them.

Friends/family would be simplest and just ask them to chuck the mail.

The only issue you might encounter is if you ever make a booking with BA when logged into your account, e.g. if using Avios. Then you would probably want a legitimate address of a close family member in play.

It’s a stupid restriction now the Qantas / BA join venture has been dissolved.
